Impact factor
The Impact Factor measures the average number of citations received in a particular year by papers published in the journal during the two preceding years.
| Year | Impact factor |
|---|---|
| 2022 | 0.5 |
The Journal Impact Factor is published each year by Clarivate Analytics. It is a measure of the number of times an average paper in a particular journal is cited during the preceding two years.
For example:
A = the number of times articles published in a specific journal in 2014 and 2015 were cited by journals during 2016.
B = the total number of 'citable items' published by that journal in 2014 and 2015. ('Citable items' are usually articles, reviews, proceedings, etc.; not editorials or letters-to-the-editor.)
2016 impact factor = A/B.
Actual value is intentionally only displayed for the most recent year. Earlier values are available in the Journal Citation Reports from Clarivate Analytics
Citescore
CiteScore measures average citations received per document published.
| Year | Citescore |
|---|---|
| 2022 | 0.8 |
CiteScore measures the average citations received per document published in a title. CiteScore values are based on citation counts in a range of four years (e.g. 2017-2020) to peer-reviewed documents (articles, reviews, conference papers, data papers and book chapters) published in the same four calendar years, divided by the number of these documents in these same four years (e.g. 2017-20).
For example, CiteScore 2020:
A = Citations to articles, reviews, conference papers, data papers and book chapters published in 2017-2020
B = Sum of articles, reviews, conference papers, data papers and book chapters published in 2017-2020
2020 CiteScore = A/B
A CiteScore is available for most active serial titles on Scopus - peer-reviewed journals, book series, conference proceedings and trade journals.
